so the system has been nagging me to install the critical bios update of v1.31.1.13 but i'm afraid that it will stop in the middle of update and ask for the BIOS password. I wouldn't be able to provide a correct password and will have to reboot to exit. most probable case afterwards; the laptop will not boot into windows as it thinks the update has not finished. Can lenovo support help me out on this? will I just not install any bios update anymore on this laptop?

Call me a dunce....but I have a problem. I locked myself out of my administrator account and I can't go into safe mode because I also forgot my BIOS password. I really don't want to have to open up my computer and remove the BIOS, is there any other solutions that don't involve turning off my computer?

A:Forgot administrator password and bios password

Hello perkymang, We are sorry as there is no master password or generator for EliteBooks or ProBooks. This is to inform you that all HP Business Notebooks such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models infact they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial Number and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case. Please Contact HP Business Notebook support they should be able to send you a customized SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password. When talking to the HP rep ask them to escalate your service request. Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again !! **Click the White Thumbs Up Button on the right to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem.

I have forgotten my password to the BIOS options and I have tried guessing it more than enough. Is there any other way to maybe reset the password? I read something online about "CMOS clear" but I can't find anything about it in the manual. Thanks!

At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.

I Have a DELL Latitude E6510 Laptop Unfortunately I forget my BIOS password .please help me to remove or unlock my BIOS Password in any way . My Service Tag is DKH7LN1-1F5AThanks

A:Forgot BIOS Password

You must place a voice call to Dell support. Be prepared to verify your ownership details and since the system is likely out of warranty, have credit card handy - the call isn't free of charge outside of warranty.

I forgot the password for the BIOS, and I'm trying to do a restored for the operating system, but it keeps sending me in circules since I don't have the password. Any one could assist me on how to flash the BIOS, or be able to by pass the BIOS password option? Please help!
